305D CR
MINI HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR

FEATURES:
The Cat® 305D CR Mini Hydraulic Excavator delivers high performance
in a compact design to help you work in the tightest applications.
The 305D CR features the following:
 Spacious, comfortable operator station provides superior legroom
and excellent visibility to minimize fatigue.
 Compact radius design keeps the radius of the upper body within
100 mm (4 in) of the undercarriage so the operator can concentrate
on the job without worrying about the back of the machine.
 High digging forces, fast cycle times and increased stability
boost your productivity.
 Load sensing hydraulics provide smooth, powerful performance
as well as increased fuel efficiency.
 Fingertip control for the boom swing and auxiliary hydraulic functions
makes operation easier while providing more foot room.
 Choice of stick lengths are available to meet your application needs.
Sticks come “thumb-ready” as standard with brackets and relief
valves installed from the factory (optional in Europe).
 Automatic 2-speed improves maneuverability around the job site
by balancing high speed and torque travel requirements.
 Angle dozer blade option can be positioned straight ahead or up
to 25 degrees to the left or right for greater machine versatility.
 Over 200 degrees of bucket rotation provides greater material
retention during truck loading and easier vertical wall digging
without having to reposition the machine.
 A variety of Cat Work Tools are available including hammers, augers and
thumbs. The Cat Quick Coupler makes work tool changes fast and easy.
